I think Fergie and co. will have watched enough of de Gea to make this signing as risk-free as possible. Every signing carries a risk, and de Gea will definitely take time to adapt and mature. But he's clearly gifted. At this stage he's still early in his development, so teams will look to target things like his cross handling, his strength and his decision making. Big test for both United and Fergie.
